Jewelry designer Annette Gabbedy has worked as a fine jewelry designer
and goldsmith for more than 20 years—creating gorgeous, delicate pieces
that can cost thousands of dollars. But there's one thing that sets
Gabbedy apart from other jewelry designers: She was born without
fingers.
"Naturally,
people can see, visually, that there's a little bit of a difference
about me," she says in an interview with SWNS TV. "I don't have fingers,
which most people would expect a goldsmith to have. Obviously making
jewelry is very tactile and something you do with your hands. I do find
that people usually do have that question of 'How do you manage to
create jewelry?' let alone the day-to-day things as well. And my answer
to that really is that I tend to really look at people who have fingers
and think, Well, how can you manage with fingers, because they must get
in the way."
